<h2>Cartesi Online Hackathon 2024 | #RollupWithCartesi</h2>Cartesi is an app-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine that runs Linux distributions, creating a richer and broader design space for dApp developers. Cartesi Rollups offer a modular scaling solution, deployable as L2, L3, or sovereign rollups, while maintaining strong base layer security guarantees. To learn more about Cartesi, visit <a href="https://cartesi.io/" target="_blank">https://cartesi.io/</a>  We want to enable computationally intensive applications on Ethereum! Furthermore, we want you to be able to build smart contracts and dApps using the languages and tooling that you know and love. These abstractions have been developed and battle-tested over the last few decades. Reusing existing tooling, and having full programmability is a great way to innovate faster without reinventing the wheel. <h2>The Challenge</h2><h3>Track 1: Best use case for real-world adoption </h3>We're excited to see you bring your ideas to life by developing a proof of concept (PoC) decentralized application (dApp) using Cartesi Rollups. Come up with real-world projects that you believe can make an impact in the web3 realm with Cartesi. Get inspired and think outside the box to find innovative solutions in areas like Artificial Intelligence, Open Data, EDUcation, DeFi, Health, Environment, and more. You can draw inspiration from the ideas on <a href="https://rolluplab.io/" target="_blank">https://rolluplab.io/</a>, but feel free to let your creativity soar even beyond!<h3>Track 2:  Most Helpful Dev Tools </h3>Build something that helps the dev journey, and helps productivity. Get inspired and think outside the box to find tooling solutions that foster the open-source culture and enable other developers to use and extend your creation. You can draw inspiration from the ideas on the Cartesi Discord #spotlight but feel free to let your creativity soar even beyond!Examples: <ol><li>Wallet functionality </li><li>Language-based templates </li><li>Use JS to Bootstrap a template for create-react-app to facilitate kickstart projects.</li><li>Cartesi Machine templates and RISC-V compilation of important libs that can help other devs bootstrap their projects. E.g. OpenCV (which must be run inside the Cartesi Linux VM)</li><li>Testing tools</li></ol><h2>Mandatory requirements</h2><ol><li>Your project should have documentation explaining the general idea of the solution. This can come in the form of a ReadMe briefly explaining how the components interact, providing a complete walkthrough on how to build and run the solution, and examples of input and expected output.</li><li>You should submit your project to the Cartesi Discord Builder-Spotlight channel, where you will also be eligible for a commemorative NFT. Note: Please visit the <a href="https://taikai.network/cartesi/hackathons/cartesi-online-hackathon-2024/categories?token=W8Z7TR0CLP1N3L1C" target="_blank">Categories</a> tab to check out the judging criteria in detail.</li></ol> <h2>Prizes</h2>We’re passionate about supporting developers and encouraging creativity to blossom across the community.

Furthermore, we want you to be able to build smart contracts and DApps using the languages and tooling that you know and love. These abstractions have been developed and battle-tested over the last few decades. Reusing existing tooling, having full programmability is a great way to innovate faster without reinventing the wheel. <h3>Who can attend the #RollupWithCartesi 2024 Online Hackathon?</h3>This hackathon is targeted at creative minds with an entrepreneurial spirit! There is no selection process and anyone with a technical background is welcome to apply, whether you're a newcomer to blockchain tech or already have experience under your belt. The initiatives at the Cartesi Project can provide opportunities even beyond the hackathon, so feel free to think big! <h3>Do I need to know how to code to participate?</h3>Yes, for solo hackers, having a technical background is essential as it's necessary to develop Cartesi Rollups applications. However, for those joining teams, coding skills are not a strict requirement. If you bring other skill sets, like research, project management, pitching, design, or any other relevant expertise that aligns with the project's requirements, you are more than welcome to be part of a team.  <h3>How much does it cost?</h3>This event is absolutely FREE for everyone interested in #RollupWithCartesi! <h3>I want to participate, but I don't have a team. Can you help me?</h3>Absolutely! Join our <a href="https://discord.gg/Kd2e8DCBdf" target="_blank">Discord community</a>:We've set up a dedicated category for the online hackathon and it has a channel specifically for team formation. Engage with other participants, share your skills and interests, and find collaborators for your project. The Discord channel is an excellent space to connect with potential teammates and start your journey together. <h3>Is there a limit to the number of team members allowed?</h3>Yes, there is a maximum limit of 5 members per team. Whether you prefer solo endeavours or larger collaborative efforts, feel free to assemble the team that suits your project best. <h3>Can I register my team members in bulk?</h3>No. Candidates must register and apply individually. <h3>Can I build my project solo?</h3>Yes, absolutely! Whether you're a solo developer with a one-person team or just prefer the individual challenge, building solo is entirely welcome.  <h3>Can I submit more than one project?</h3>Yes, you can! We welcome participants to showcase their versatility and submit multiple projects for consideration in the hackathon. Each project will be evaluated independently based on the specified judging criteria. Feel free to explore diverse ideas and demonstrate the breadth of your skills and creativity.  <h3>Can I apply to more than one track?</h3>Yes, you can! There are two exciting tracks for you to explore and apply to. Feel free to showcase your skills across different challenges, and contribute to innovative projects in each. We look forward to seeing your creativity shine in both tracks! <h3>I have an idea for a project, but I had already started working on it before the hackathon. Can I participate with this idea?</h3>No, unfortunately, you cannot. To ensure a level playing field and fairness, we require all projects submitted to be developed during the designated hackathon period. Projects that were initiated or worked on before the hackathon commencement are not eligible for submission and will be disqualified.  <h3>What if I don't have a project idea for the #RollupWithCartesi 2024 Online Hackathon?</h3>Don't worry if you're still looking for inspiration! We've curated a list of diverse project ideas to spark your creativity. Explore <a href="https://rolluplab.io/" target="_blank">https://rolluplab.io/</a> for concepts spanning Gaming, AI/ML, DeFi, Social Identity, Developer Tools, and more. You can also join our Discord and check out the ‘Spotlight’ channel where the community adds the projects they have built using Cartesi. You can also use Discord to discuss any ideas, seek feedback, or even collaborate with others. The hackathon is not just about coding; it's a collaborative journey, and your next great project idea might be just a conversation away! <h3>Do I need to submit a business model for my project?</h3>No, the submission of a business model is not required. However, we look at how your project can be useful in the real world and the Web3 landscape. We care about new ideas, how well you use Cartesi's tech, and if your project is easy and nice to use. Also, when you pitch your project, make it clear and interesting. You don't need a business plan, but you need to show us why your project matters and how it can be helpful to the community. <h3>I don't know how to pitch a project. What should I do?</h3>Project pitching is important, and it will be evaluated based on the specified judging criteria. If you're unsure about pitching, consider having someone on your team with good presentation and communication skills. Having a team member who can clearly explain your project's value and engage the audience will greatly enhance your chances of success. Don't hesitate to practice your pitch beforehand, and we encourage you to join our Discord community to seek feedback and mentorship from our DevAd team. <h3>How do I contact mentors from Cartesi?</h3>Mentors are readily available for assistance and can be reached on our Discord server. Whether you have questions about technical challenges, project ideas, or need guidance on any aspect of the hackathon, our mentors are here to help.Open Hacker Hours:Dedicated hacker hours will be scheduled every day from 18 March 18, to the 24th March.
